I'm also a photographer. Photography is active, while audio is passive. I need to do something to get a photograph, but consume pre-made audio recordings. 

@pindac Re combinations, there are plenty out there in photography land as well, particularly once you go into the specialty areas such as LF and IR/UV. Just considering tripods makes one's head spin: wood, CF, Al, Mg, 3-4 sections, center columns, heads (ball, pan-tilt, motorized). Then filters. Digital workflows are likely more involved than in audio. I still shoot mostly MF on FF dSLR with Zeiss glass. Easy to see the difference for instance with lateral color.

Disagreement is healthy. Feuds, sigh, move on. The biggest complaint about agon is with including images in posts. Well-known issue, no need to rehash.

This site is pretty good in my opinion. I am also on Canuck Audio Mart, and somehow I spend nearly no time there.  However, I have found that on Canuck site there are virtually no nasty or rude comments.  That could be my lucky experience, I just don't use that site much.
Pentax Forums ( I use Pentax and have been since high school ) has never had nasty, rude comments.  Very knowledgeable and helpful.
I believe there is an offshoot section for another major brand, most likely Nikon/Canon. A camera is a tool for getting images, and a means for applying all that background knowledge and ability photographers use.

1. the image must be already anywhere on the web

2. right-click the image: copy image address

3. this window: top bar, 6th icon from the left, IMAGE, click it

4. a window opens, waiting for you to paste the Image's URL (it's address on the internet). Paste the Image Address in that URL box

5. width: enter 600 (the height will be automatically entered)

6. click OK

maybe you can tell me how I am explaining it wrong, because I have written the solution several times, and otherwise intelligent people aren’t getting it.

reminds me of when people could not set the clocks in the early VCRs, thus they couldn’t set the guide to record, thus worthless.

I just re-wrote the instructions, a bit differently

@billstevenson , others

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO COPY AND PASTE ??????????????????

what is unclear? have you tried it? try it right now! That’s an order!!!!!!!!!!

1. prep: open a post your response window, see the top bar of icons, see 6th from left, icon of sun over mountains (Image), you will use that later

2. new browser window, go here:

https://www.dpreview.com/forums/threads/mini-challenge-818-whats-the-story.4839069/#post-68715226

3. hover your pointer over this image (or any following image you like)

 

4. right click, a pop-up window appears: find and select ’copy image address’ (it’s url)

5. back to post window, click the image icon, a dialog box pops open, an insert already blinking in the url line, waiting for you to:

6. paste the image address you copied (it’s url)

..................................

not done, now it’s about preventing distortion, you will change the width

7. width box: delete whatever is there, change it to 600.

8. click OK

The clock is ticking!!!!!

I have been on audio forums for a number of years, and have seen the rise and fall of sites like Audioreview, the glory days of Audio Asylum, the diminishment of Vinyl Engine, and so on. 

This site has endured, and stays relevant. I only post in stops and starts here, usually when I have a project going. I find the information shared to be thoughtful and given in good spirit. Just like every site there are folks that people get along with well, and then there are others that, well, not so much. You learn what posts you can gloss over, who not to engage with, and so forth. 

Overall, Audiogon is one of my favorite places to visit, as the people here are still hobbyists who have a love for music and the equipment we play it on.
